Teaching our 7yo to plan a design to become a product

Our 7yo is a super creative little girl. She is a productive artist. She has tons of ideas in her head every day. Her hands never stop working. She could sit for hours for drawing and crafting. She has been interested to use scissor since she was about 20 months old. We are amazed at her ideas and determination to make her ideas happen. Recently she wanted to make finger puppets.  


Ferry told her to make a plan before making it. The plan helped her to imagine the future, breaking down elements, thinking ahead for prediction and anticipation. 

This is an exercise for creative and critical thinking. 

Looking at her design and planning, helping us to understand what she has in her mind. We helped her to think the right materials to make the finger puppets. 

We encouraged her to get involve in the finger puppet's 

making as much as she could.

First, she designed the finger puppets.

She wants to make a rabbit family with the friends, pretty ambitious plan! 

We told her to name every puppet. This is also a creative & critical thinking exercise.

She did! She came up with fantastic names!

Then it's the production time. She was very excited. 

We planned to make "Golly Bro" ~ the main character of rabbit's family, first.

Mom showed her the process.

She did some of the sowing, Mom finished the rest.

"Golly Bro" is almost finished, but then we realized it is too small for Mom's thumb. Ups!😄

Mom wants to play too.

We changed the plan to make "Blab the baby" instead of "Golly Bro"

 Here he is. Blab the Babe Bro. The youngest in Rabbit's family.

Our 7yo can't wait for making the next one.

Until Next Time ...💗
